I don’t have children, but in the event that I ever bring a little person into this world, I hope I react to the announcement that they “love the Ankees” by berating them to tears and evicting them from my home. You can also tell I don’t have kids because I think it’s kinda weird to watch a nearly-nude little boy hold a fork for no reason and aimlessly jam his arm into a school bus.

The poor kid is already a great Yankees fan. He doesn’t have any concrete reasons to like them, he can’t properly pronounce their name, he only seems to be supporting them because everyone else he knows likes the Red Sox and he bursts into whimpering tears when you question him. He also says “please?” when you tell him you don’t like them. All he needs to do now is learn to justify drunk driving arrests and count to 27 and he’ll be every Yankees fan I’ve ever met.

Also, is that guy a Benjamin Button version of Roger Sterling or what? About midway through the video I expected him to turn to the camera and tell Joanie to get Lucky Strike on the phone.

Every damn day, some unfit parent posts something like this and it goes VIRAL~. YouTube: Just another thing ruined by human beings.

Wait, Yankee fans can count to 27? Since when?

aw, crap! I can’t watch streaming video at work, so I had to wait until I got home, and now the video’s been removed! I was totally psyched to watch it.

well, the story itself made me laugh, anyway.

Q: What’s the difference between a Yankee fan and a baby?
A: The baby will stop whining after a while.

Sorry about that. The video has been mirrored and replaced!

“you’ll have to find a new place to live” omg

this is both hilarious and terrifying: hilarious because Yankee fans suck, terrifying because someone like that is raising a child.

The problem with this story is that this young Yankees fan isn’t being converted to a more appropriate team for the souled, like the Orioles or the Twins or the Reds- he’s being converted to the RED SOX. THE RED SOX.

Ugh.

How sad is it that the most mature person in the video is the brother? Good for him feeling sympathy for his brother when he starts crying!

On that note, go Phillies!

C’mon, kid. Like the Phillies. Bitch for years about Boston and New York outbidding you and then become a bloated-payroll behemoth too. Maybe by the time you’re 70 they will have ten percent of the rings either of those teams have (darn, that would assume he could learn more than just Philly Math, aka calculating bond and how much a flat of Tastycakes every other weekend costs).
